"Experiment IV" (Wogan, 1986)

Performance from "Wogan" (BBC1, 31 October 1986). What do you think about scientific experimentation? Are there limits to the things that people should be working on? Kate: “I think that's very much part of the fascination, is that people have to do that, that's what human beings are about - discovering things, and perhaps the problem is that they're normally always connected by forces that do not have that same kind of creative curiosity. The consequences, that's the problem; the consequences are quite often hindsight, rather than on the way. I consider music a really positive force, it's something that is there to help people, to make them happy, to make them think. So many wonderful things, music therapy... It's a very positive energy and there's something incredibly beautiful about music. And the thought of people using sound in such a negative way - and there are definitely sonic experiments that go on, that are used by the military - it's so obscene. The irony of using something that's so beautiful, in a way, to actually kill people rather than help them, I find fascinating.” (from “The Story So Far”, MuchMusic, 30 May 1987)
